Chapter 684 Entering the palace in August?

Although Hongying and Bayue have vastly different social statuses, they were very familiar with each other in the Duke Shun's Mansion. After the trip to Qingzhou County, they often exchanged martial arts and got along very well. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are sisters. Will they share a husband in the future?

Ahhh! I can’t stand it anymore!

Chu Chu thought it was impossible, so she insisted: "Hongying will never agree, and Bayue will not go either, so let him give up."

Juanjuan, who was standing by, quickly covered her sister's mouth. Chuchu stopped talking, thinking that it was disrespectful to the emperor to say that, but she was still angry.

Jiao Zhongjue looked at her. He liked the little girl’s true nature, as she dared to love and hate. However, he also knew that it would be difficult for him to accept it all at once.

After thinking about it silently, she said, "Compared to the noble ladies who participated in the selection with ulterior motives, the queen would definitely prefer to choose someone she can trust."

Duke Shun also nodded towards his daughter and said, "The Emperor is not the type to favor his concubine over his wife, otherwise he wouldn't even have to choose Xiu and would just let us carry the person in."

The old lady then said, "If August enters the palace, the emperor will have one less concubine to choose. August's status will not pose a threat to the empress or the throne."

"If Chuchu agrees, and August is also willing, then let August enter the palace as the daughter of the county lieutenant of Yuzhou County."

This is all planned? Especially when it comes to Yuzhou County, Chuchu is a little surprised.

Is this a negotiation with them? It's clearly coercion and inducement.

I heard that in recent years, all the bandits in the Yuzhou County area have been suppressed, and the area has become very peaceful. That was all thanks to the fact that after my cousin took up the post there, he received guidance from Brother Jue and my father, and was able to recruit General Qi's old subordinates. Otherwise, the suppression of the bandits would not have been so smooth.

"Is the county lieutenant an old subordinate of General Qi?"

Prince Jue and Duke Shun both nodded, and Chu Chu finally realized, "So, those who entered the palace in August are Hongying's people? Are they all worthy of the emperor's trust?"

Hongying's father and second uncle only advanced one step further in their official positions later on, and they also took the initiative to tell the emperor that they had no intention of going any further. This showed the determination of General Qi's Mansion to be loyal to their master and not interfere in state affairs, and it also saved the emperor from the disturbance of an external relative.

Juanjuan also said beside Chuchu at this time: "If August agrees, Hongying will have an extra companion in the palace. Besides, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor meant that day. Although August did not directly save the Emperor, the fact is there. I am still very grateful for August's loyalty to the Lord. It will definitely be worth it if August goes."

"This way, August should not be a problem for entering the palace, and he may even have children for the emperor, right?"

Chu Chu seemed to have just come to her senses. She didn't want to enter the palace in August and be fed a sterilizing soup like other concubines, and live a lonely life or be plotted against by others.

Seeing that his daughter had begun to relax, Li Yan looked at her and said, "Bayue will soon be 15 years old. If we let her leave the house, she may not be willing.

Even if she is given a lot of gold and silver, she will marry an ordinary person, and her husband's family may not be able to protect her.

If she were to be paired with a servant from the mansion, wouldn't Chuchu feel that she was being wronged?"

Chu Chu thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed the case. Even if it was a small steward in the mansion, if he had money, he would marry a concubine to do the laundry and cooking at home. It was not worth it for August to think about it.

The more Chuchu thought about it, the more she felt that entering the palace might be good for August. As long as she behaved herself, she might be able to enjoy a life of wealth and glory by accompanying the emperor.

August is quite pretty and could gain some favor from the Emperor, mainly because she has had no relatives since childhood and is better at reading people's faces than Qiuli. As long as she pays a little attention, the Empress Dowager might think of her as having a niece and give her more love.

Seeing that Chuchu had thought about it, Duke Shun said to his wife, "We will go out later, Madam, please call August in to ask him!"

Chuchu looked at her sister, and when she saw her sister nodded, she had an idea in her mind: "Let's not bother grandma and mother for now. Let's ask August in person."

"Well, that's what grandma meant. If we suddenly ask such a question, August might not only be scared, but also think we are forcing her. She thinks she has to go whether she wants to or not, and she doesn't dare to express her feelings. It's not good if a good thing is misunderstood."

But before leaving, Chuchu still looked at her father cautiously: "If August agrees, will he be sent away?"

She still felt a little reluctant to let go. She had chosen August herself, and he had been by her side for so many years and they had grown up together. It was impossible for her to say that she had no feelings for him.

Duke Shun's answer was affirmative: "Of course, he will be sent to Yuzhou Prefecture to stay for a while. He will definitely need to get familiar with the prefecture there, and then he will have his own name."

As she walked back to Chu Garden with her sister, Juan Juan thought Chu Chu was still upset and couldn't help but remind her: "In the future, August will be a lady from an official family. Although she is from a small family, at least she has freedom. You should be happy for her."

Chuchu felt a little bitter, but she knew very well that this might be the best choice for August, so she smiled and said, "As long as we persuade August, we have to make her up right away, otherwise she might be like Hongying, who can't take care of anything once she enters the palace."

Juanjuan smiled and put his arm around his sister's shoulders. He knew exactly what his sister was feeling: "I'm afraid you forgot that we all have badges when we enter the palace. If you miss her, just give a badge to the Queen or the Empress Dowager and go in to see her."

When she entered the hospital, Chuchu smiled a lot more, and she finally figured it out.

As long as my sister understands my idea, it shouldn’t be difficult to implement August’s idea.

As long as the emperor is willing to give August a better position in the future, August will no longer have to be servile, and may even be on an equal footing with them. It would be great if she could see them often in this life.

"Enter the palace?"

The two sisters came to question August. August was confused when she heard about entering the palace. At first, she thought that the lady sent her to the palace to be a maid, and she also thought that the queen specifically wanted her. Although she still had some feelings for the queen, she was reluctant.

There is no way you can be as free in the palace as in the mansion. She used to be horrified when she heard Hongying talk about the dirty things in the palace.

Now he feels like he's been abandoned, so he looks at the lady with an aggrieved expression.

The two of them took turns to persuade August about what they had just heard and said in Fushou Garden. It took August a long time to understand that she had to enter the palace for the selection, and she was a little surprised in the end.

Given her status, she had no conditions to enter the palace for the selection, even if she was free.

At the beginning, the two young ladies kept talking about going to the palace to serve the emperor. As a servant who had never thought of becoming a master, she had no idea what was going on. She thought they were going to the palace to bring water for washing feet or to help the emperor grind ink.

After everything was explained, there was a long silence, especially when she heard the young ladies' analysis that finding someone outside the palace might not be good, and that no one might treat her so sincerely, she thought she would be persuaded.
